Introduction
Woodlawn is located on Chicago’s South Side and is bounded by Lake Michigan to the east, 60th Street to the north, Martin Luther King Drive to the west, and 67th Street to the south.
Transportation
Woodlawn is accessible by the Chicago L Red Line, the ME Train, and Bus #106.
The area also has access to Lyft/Uber rideshare services and taxi services. Unfortunately, this means that rideshare accidents, pedestrian accidents, motor vehicle accidents, and public transportation accidents can be common in the area.
Demographics
Woodlawn has a population of 24,150 in 10,000 households within its 2.07 square miles according to the most recent U.S. Census.
Education
Woodlawn area students are primarily serviced by Chicago Public Schools, private and charter schools, including:
- Woodlawn Community Elementary School
- University of Chicago Charter School: Woodlawn Campus
- Hyde Park Career Academy
- Mount Carmel High School
The Northern edge of Woodlawn also contains a portion of the University of Chicago.
When sending your child off to school you assume they will remain safe, however, this isn’t always the case. School bus accidents, gym and physical education accidents, lack of supervision, daycare accidents, playground injuries, and school district negligence are just a few examples of the types of school injury cases America’s Consumer Lawyer has experience with.
Attractions
Woodlawn is home to a handful of activities and attractions, which include:
- Jackson Park
- 63rd Street Beach
- Wooded Island
- Flying Squirrel Park
- Bobolink Meadow
- Lorraine Hansberry House
- Osaka Garden

While most of the time spent at these Woodlawn attractions will be enjoyable and uneventful, accidents can occur, including premises accidents, slip and falls, bicycle accidents, bus accidents, car accidents, drinking and driving, dog bites, and playground accidents.
